Networks pass on shows that continue to become huge hits all the time. For example, HBO has a pretty bad performance with this kind of things; Over the years, they have been celebrating huge projects like "Crazy Men" and "Breaking Bad" (both eventually put AMC on the TV -map prestige) and, recently, they said not to "Yellowolston", which became one of the greatest shows of all time. Obviously, they also said no to "Yellowjackets", who eventually found Showtime's home ... but according to the show -Show and creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson (who are also married), the premium network had a very specific reason when they said no to Yellowjackets.

In an interview in 2022 with The deadlineLyle told writer Lynette Rice that the penetration process was exhausting and they received significant offers as a result - but the FBO was a blunt for why they had passed. As Lyle explained:

"I think we had pitched to 16 or 17 different networks. We ended up to get from the pitch. HBO, as an Example, Is Very Honest after the pitch. Development. Helpful As You're Going Through The Absolute Grind. "

While Lil and Nikerson were probably grateful for honest feedback, this Whether It looks a little strange. Not only are "yellow pockets" and "Euphoria" absolutely nothing like But "Yellowjackets" shares its timeline between the main characters like teenagers And Adults. So how did they oppose Lille and Nikerson with that feedback?

As the loyal fans of Yelloweljak know, we see the characters in two different timing. In 1996 And after 25 years, they are all grown up (and play Melanie Lysini, Tani Cyprus, Christina Richie, Ietuliet Lewis and Simone Kessel, respectively) and try to cope with what happened in those forests. Again, I should say that this brings absolutely zero resemblance to "euphoria" and as Ashley Lyle has told Lynette Rice, the play is a joint effort between the two sets of performers.

"We saw him as a very even show," Lyle noted. "There is a difference between shows that are characterized by teenagers who are directed to teenagers and shows that they are characterized by teenagers who are directed to more adult audiences. We always point to" virgin suicides ", which is a lot for teenagers but does not feel like (young adults)."

However, Lyle said he thought everything had happened best on the way the networks condemned the project. "This is said, I think the networks are very aware of their brands and do not tend to look at things that way," she continued. "Shows for teenagers or that teenagers with ambitions to be something other than a classic (young adult) show tend to scare people a bit. They are not something with a long record"She continued," that's something we opposed when we used it. The flip -side of it was like there were a few places that were very seen as a (young adult) show and that was not our intention. So, in the end, we felt as if those networks were not best suited. "

With Season 3 of "Euphoria" still nowhere in sight (although it may appear in the end, obviously) and the third season of "Yelloweljak" creates significantly ... buzz, HBO may complain about that hasty decision. Because it's pure speculation by my side, let's go back to Season 3 of "Yellowothic", What began on February 14 and gave the audience more chewing as the central mystery of the show takes place. In an interview with Hollywood reporter On the day Season 3 missed the first two episodes, Ashley Lyle and Bart Nikerson pledged that, as the season takes place, viewers will receive more answers about this intriguing, nasty mystery show.

Speaking with the fact that Fans of Yellowelkquets I always try to understand the next move on the show, Lyle revealed: "One thing to say - and I won't explain at all - is that there were a few things that people really locked in the trailer that I was interesting and a few things we thought would be concluded." Well, is there anything else? "Another thing I think I can explain a little without being too spoiled is that one of the biggest, primary, macro, overwhelming questions people have is: What did they do there?" Lil continued. "This is something raised in the first episode of the show and I think I can say with much confidence that we learn much more about what they did there this season.

There are One Something we know about the current third season of "Yelloweleikets", however - episode titles no clues. "I can say this without being a spoiler - because we didn't do it - but we had a lot of arguments in the room: we actually had to use the episode titles to ribol a big deal this season, but then we didn't do it," Lyle said. "This audience is so at the top of the things we were like," they could actually get it. "

"Yellowolytiki", which is on the show and no HBO, releases new episodes of Paramount+ every Friday and on Showtime on Sunday at 9 pm Est.
